Lots more than potatoes!

Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda, the open market has changed a lot in recent years. When we were olim chadashim, new immigrants, the fruit and vegetables were weighed with old mechanical scales. We had to trust that the stone, the seller claimed was a quarter kilo, really was. And from stall to stall we just kept dumping all the purchased produce into our shopping bag. When we asked for plastic bags, we were told that they would make the food moldy.

Things have changed in Machane Yehuda.

Not only do they sell fish for cooking, but there's plenty of things for your pets.



Besides fresh vegetable, there are other types of plants.







There are clothes for all tastes and all budgets.








If you want some exotic lights, you'll find that, too.




Next time, I'll have to photograph the restaurant; there's plenty more than felafel!
